It's not a White House thing. When there was a recent bill on FCC fines, I think maybe one person or two went against it. The one person was a Democrat from NY. Nobody else, regardless of party, said anything.
What a bunch of crap. Our speech is controlled by an agency free to do whatever it wants without trial. They don't fine Oprah for talking about tossed salads but have issues with Howard Stern talking about farting.
